minus-square@bigFab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish28•6 months agoOn top of what Aatube says about secret unfair deals, Google’s Play Store is necessary to run essential social services. In my case I need it to download my banking app and to sign into my university’s online studies.
minus-square@Gestrid@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish13•edit-26 months agoEven something as simple as the Wikipedia app checks to see if Google Play Services is installed and running before it’ll let you use it.
minus-square@tabular@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish11•edit-26 months ago Needing an app to sign into uni Jesus fucking hell. Bet it’s propriety.

minus-square@bigFab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•6 months agoI really hope you’r wrong on that. Anyways, it’s a pleasure to see Google bleeding.
